More quotes by Georges Braque
Critics should help people see for themselves they should never try to define things, or impose their own explanations, though I admit that if... a critic's explanations serve to increase the general obscurity, that's all to the good.
Georges Braque
I considered that the painter's personality should be kept out of things, and therefore pictures should be anonymous. It was I who decided that pictures should not be signed, and for a time Picasso did the same.
Georges Braque
With age, art and life become one.
Georges Braque
I am much more interested in achieving unison with nature than in copying it.
Georges Braque
Colour could give rise to sensations which would interfere with our conception of space.
Georges Braque
Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.
Georges Braque
It is the limitation of means that determines style, gives rise to new forms and makes creativity possible.
Georges Braque
The space between the dish and the pitcher, that I paint also.
Georges Braque
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
Georges Braque
When one reaches this state of harmony between things and one's self, one reaches a state of perfect freedom and peace-which makes everything possible and right. Life becomes perpetual revelation.
Georges Braque
In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.
Georges Braque
I thought that from the moment someone else could do the same as myself, there was no difference between the pictures and they should not be signed. Afterwards I realized it was not so and began to sign my pictures again. Picasso had begun again anyhow.
Georges Braque
What greatly attracted me - and it was the main line of advance of Cubism - was how to give material expression to this new space of which I had an inkling. So I began to paint chiefly still lifes, because in nature there is a tactile, I would almost say a manual space... that was the earliest Cubist painting - the quest for space.
Georges Braque
Art disturbs, science reassures.
Georges Braque
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
Georges Braque
Work to perfect the mind. There is no certitude but in what the mind conceives.
Georges Braque
There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.
Georges Braque
The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.
Georges Braque
I find that it is important to work slowly. Anyone who looks at such a canvas will follow the same path the artist took, and he will experience that it is the path which counts more than the outcome of it, and that the route taken has been the most interesting part.
Georges Braque
Poetry is to a painting what life is to man.
Georges Braque
